Give episode 14 a listen for some killer NFL chatter, plus a little off-color humor and stories from USA Today's Tom Pelissero. Before getting into some serious NFL discussion, there are several Mike Tice stories and drinking stories from Boomtown.

Other topics include: The NFL schedule being released is now front-page news. Is the NFL too popular or will it forever be this important in the U.S.? What has made the NFL so popular? In the future of the NFL, will attendance matter, or can the league make money by other avenues?

This episode of the podcast also includes a surprisingly high number of 'can't come back from that' moments.

Sports Over Beers is a podcast by the crew at 1500 ESPN. We get together to drink a few beers, bring along the recording equipment and let the conversation fly. On our good days, we get to sports conversation, but we don't always promise that. We do promise to try to keep it interesting. The beer helps with that.
